The roof of your RV is one of the parts most exposed to rain, snow, sun, debris, etc. Over time, these elements can cause cracks, mold, or even water leaks.
That's why regular inspection of your RV roof is essential to preserve its structure and avoid costly repairs.
At Canada RV, our team follows a rigorous process to ensure that every detail is checked and that your RV remains in perfect condition, season after season. How? Read on to find out!
What are the inspection steps?
During each inspection, the following items are carefully examined:
• Overall condition of the membrane and joints
• Air conditioning cover and seal
• Skylight dome
• All vents (roof, refrigerator, plumbing)
• Antenna and satellite
• Detection of mold and water infiltration
• Roof rack and ladder
It's important to know that seals, openings, and fasteners are particularly susceptible to infiltration: a small defect can quickly lead to significant damage. That's why our team takes the time to examine each element in detail, so that your RV remains in perfect condition, rain or shine.
Once the inspection is complete, we will be able to better guide you on the adjustments that need to be made or how to prevent damage.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I check my RV roof and seals?
→ We recommend two inspections per year, one in the spring (before the first trip) and one in the fall, before storage. This allows you to quickly detect signs of wear and tear and prevent small problems from turning into major damage!
Where does water most often seep in?
→ The areas most at risk are screw covers and windows. For better protection, we recommend Aquastop products, which we install directly in our workshop: an effective solution to prevent leaks. You can take a look at these products here: https://loom.ly/gdo4R3g.
How can you tell if there is already water infiltration?
→ There are some telltale signs: peeling on the sides of the RV or roof, a structure that feels soft to the touch, or areas of moisture detected using a specialized tool that measures moisture content.

Regular roof inspections are essential for extending the life of your RV and ensuring your comfort on the road.
